Deneb Run #28

Jan 07, 2006 Screwball link
TGFT and EnB will again be hosting The Deneb Run this weekend at 2 AM GMT Sunday. Please check /time if you are confused about GMT.

*PRIZES AVAILABLE FOR NON-RACERS* !!! See rules below.

All citizens are welcome to race, there is no entrance fee, and 4 Million credits in prizes are available. Some of it could be yours!

Once again, the rules are:

1) Racers must race from Odia M14 through Deneb heading clockwise back to Odia M14.
2) Race starts in Odia M14 near the station.
3) Contestants must be within 100m of me before the start
4) No shooting before I start the race.
5) You die and you're out (so no /exploding)
6) All weapons and ships allowed, except those listed in #10.
7) First person to get back and dock at Odia M14 wins the first prize. (2 million credits)
8) Second person back gets 2nd place prize (1.2 million credits)
9) Third person back gets 3rd place prize (800k credits)
10) No Valkyries allowed.
11) If there are at least 3 racers, and less than 3 racers complete The Deneb Run, the undistributed prize money will be awarded to those who killed the racers as follows:
- The most recent kill gets the highest unawarded prize
- The 2nd most recent kill gets the second highest unawarded prize
- etc.

Example: If 1 racer finishes, the player that had the last kill of a racer will receive a 1.2 million credit prize, and the player that had the 2nd most recent kill would receive 800k credits.

I believe this is a good way of saying thanks to those who help spice things up for the racers.

Please reply to this thread if you intend to race.

I think I can make it.

And I won't be late (especially like that time when I posted in when the race had already started o.0)[/sarcasm]

So where's the write-up?

Best non-infiniboost time since valk banning, although that's probably b/c the good racers don't fly non-infiniboost, something I know understand.

Although it did give me a better chance against the pirates, 4 of which only got 1 hit total (unless you count running straight into Ory Hara).

Wrong, fooz, Miharu did 30:53 on a Vult III when she ran the race. I've been meaning to have a go with a TD hog, but it always gets shot up around B-8 shortly before the race...
Jan 08, 2006 fooz2916 link
darn...

Well, it's my best time.
Jan 09, 2006 LeberMac link
Good job, fooz! Perhaps I shall have to try a Vult sometime.
Thanks to Screwball for running the event. Thanks to EnB and TGFT for the prize money.

/me tips his bottle to the other racers...

Oh, and spuck, better luck next time... Perhaps you'll be able to use even MORE alts in the race #29. Heh.
Jan 09, 2006 moldyman link
Argh, what are you people doing!? At this rate, he'll surpass Monk's record and he can't even defend it anymore :/

/me shuffles off to ammend the compilation
Jan 09, 2006 LeberMac link
You are more than welcome to race, Monk. I encourage it, you and fooz seem like my only competition. Hehe.

I even help out fooz by announcing storms that I hit over group chat.
Jan 09, 2006 moldyman link
Who's this "Monk"fellow? I've never heard of him in my life.

/me thwacks Leber over the head

Erik on the oherhand, may race. >.>

OMG Has Monk entered the Void of Character-Deletion?
Jan 09, 2006 moldyman link
/me points to the station news.

Congrats on yet another win leber.
Jan 10, 2006 jexkerome link
I think that if he indeed deleted Monk, it was in a vain attempt to stop us from calling him monkey. Right, monkey?
Jan 10, 2006 moldyman link
Oo oo ah ah? Now why would I delete the character? That's just plain stupid. I just won't use him.
Jan 10, 2006 jexkerome link
Damn it, there goes my idea to steal the name and do some shenanigans with it...
Jan 10, 2006 moldyman link
So... like Pilot 13 does with his Monk alts? >.>
